They're a bit more optimistic than I am. You have to have Insider to read this, and I guess if I can't post the whole article I'll just put what they write about the Broncos. Tampa was ranked first.
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6808224/ranking-top-organizations-nfl-based-25-talent
---------
14. Denver Broncos
The Broncos are another team, like the Colts, for whom evaluating their 25-and-under talent is unduly difficult. First and foremost, does the new regime consider Tim Tebow to be the team's franchise quarterback? He played well in spots last season, but Josh McDaniels turned even Kyle Orton into a stud. Is Eddie Royal's future as a wide receiver or as a return man? Should we even count Demaryius Thomas when he seems to suffer a major injury every February? Will Knowshon Moreno develop into a feature back? Is second-overall pick Von Miller, who could combine with Elvis Dumervil to form the best pass-rushing duo of any 3-4 defense, going to be hamstrung by John Fox's switch to the 4-3?
The only things we can say with any degree of certainty are that (A) the Broncos finally used the draft to get younger on defense, and (B) they have arguably the best combination of youth and talent of any offensive line in the NFL.
